How many Cobalts are here?

[venus]

I already posted above about my black 06 SS/SC. I also picked up a used 05 red sedan.

[6Cobalt]

recently got an 06 LS. I like it, I have two problems though:

my driver's side door seems to close akwardly. Doesn't have that reassuring car-door-crunch sound, kinda dull instead.

the jack that owned the car before me liked rap music and his thudding base tore apart the speaker system. will need to buy a new one...

otherwise, I love it. It's a coupe and has virtually no back seat, so my friends no longer try to bum rides (had a hand-me-down Grand Caravan). Better gas mileage too!

Just picked up a brand-new 2007 LS 4dr, auto a few days ago. Super basic, roll up windows, no power locks, no cruise control, no ABS & I absolutely LOVE IT. Got it for $12100. $14600-$2500 in rebates. I didn't haggle on the MSRP because I worked them up on the trade-in allowance for my 2005 Trailblazer. After 15yrs+ of truck/SUV ownership, I should have switched over to something more cost effective like this Cobalt YEARS ago. The 2.2L Ecotec and 4T45E is a proven drivetrain and is a blast to drive. I wouldn't want it in anything bigger/heavier, but it's sweet in a Cobalt/Delta chassis.

2.2l/slushbox here as well. I can't say it's my favorite car I've ever owned, but it's a nice car. I went for a basic transport car, and it has treated me well.

As to the back seat, if you come from a 4th gen Camaro, then you KNOW what a non-existent back seat is! This thing is positively spacious to me, and I'm 6'1" tall. Of course, it doesn't match the '66 Fury for space or power. A 440 V8 tends to be a bit more than a little stock 4 banger. The Dart 340 also beat it in power, though space was about the same. Needless to say, I'm more used to RWD cars; I only owned one other front driver, a Honda Civic.

I intend to go with some upgrades eventually, mostly for handling, braking, and (hopefully) fuel economy. I don't need a race car, but I do like to tinker with things.

Took the plunge in a 07 LT sedan W/Auto.

[AJT1961]

I just bought an '07 1LT sedan with auto trans. After the rebates, dealer discount, and my GM Card earnings, they practically gave me the car. I'm still keeping my 15mpg 2000 4wd Blazer for snowy days, but am looking forward to cutting my gasoline bill in half for everyday driving in my shiny new Cobalt. Only negative comment so far -- I bought the Ultra Silver Metallic and the shade of silver on the flexible front and rear bumper covers is actually slightly darker than the rest of the car. It was the same with every other silver cobalt on the lot, but I decided to buy it anyway so I really am not complaining. I'm just surprised that a huge company like GM still has problems exactly matching its flexible and non-flexible paints. Well, I guess I'm not that surprised. Love the car -- one of the best values in America and more than enough power for my needs.

I just bought a shiny new LS 4 days ago. Like the above poster, after all the rebates/dealer discounts I got it for about 3k below the MSRP.

it's only slow because of the points at which the auto transmission shifts. the engine gets the highets horsepower at high RPMs, but the transmission shifts at lower RPM to save gas and have a smoother and quiter ride. the car will take off like a bat out of hell if you've got a manual and you know what you're doing. pretty big waste of gas though.

With the go pedal floored, an auto will touch redline between shifts. Comparing a 2.2 auto with a 5spd, the 5spd is not going to be 'faster'. More fun to drive and more economical? Yes.
